Design and Technology

'Inspiring future innovators to solve global challenges' 

 

Design and Technology is a diverse and ever-changing subject that aims to develop the next generation of designers so that they can solve many of our current global challenges and drive progress in the areas of innovation that we have all come to rely on and enjoy. 
We embrace this importance at St Martin’s by ensuring our pupils experience all areas of our varied subject by following the National Curriculum during Key Stage 3.  We are a successful and popular subject at Key Stage 4 and 5, enabling pupils to study technical material specialisms further in our well-resourced department. 

Enabling pupils to develop their passion for design and nutrition will help them to become resilient and creative problem solvers with a wider understanding of the drive towards a more diverse and sustainable world. 

Empowering pupils to ‘think outside the box’ to overcome obstacles, show regard for users’ needs and wants, will help them become capable, compassionate individuals with technical knowledge and experience from working with a variety of materials, ingredients and manufacturing processes.
